Nice one! Thought I was going to have to watch the final in the pub. Some prefer that I know, and I can understand that as I was married once with young kids and pets, and any excuse! But these days a few tinnies on my own or with a mate in the house, not only cheaper, but more enjoyable for me, can watch and listen to the match better and not have to wait 15 minutes to be served while being shoved about.

The live YouTube feed for the Europa League Final was a measly 854x480 - definitely not even HD. It's likely the Champions League Final will also only be SD on YouTube - I guess BT Sport are so "poor" they couldn't afford to give away the extra pixels for free...

Expired? Why? It says europa and champions league final and always has done.

Really ? Thats odd, as Liverpool were only supposed to have been allocated less than half that, and I somehow doubt they'd have given the Spaiards twice as many.
So where did you get that little nugget of info ? The Liverpool fanzine ? :wink:

If you have an HD box then go to channel 433 and at 7pm it will become free to view.

Liverpool and Sevilla could both fill it themselves

Watching via Youtube is likely to be better than watching via Freeview.
The Youtube stream should be available in 1080p, while the Freeview channel should only be 'standard definition'

I always get strange looks when internationals come around because I feel exactly the same way, I want to hear the commentary, and be by myself to solely focus on the game haha.
richkaos to xenophon
17 May 16#58
Have to agree...the last time i ventured out to the pub to watch the football we were rudely interrupted just as the game was kicking off by a rather worse for ware chap who claimed to know Dynamo the magician who was his cousin apparently (this was explained MANY times) to which point he proceeded to demonstrate some rather poor magic tricks (none went well) performed an inch from my face including the odd splatter of saliva and then asked for some money as his mum was apparently in hospital with a terminal illness. Anyone for the pub??
all major events have to free. so if someone like sky bought all the rights to the euros they would have to show the final for everyone.

Has anyone ever actually watched BT Showcase. It's a blurry mess, much like most Freeview channels. Would probably be better quality on YouTube.

Hopefully the Youtube channel will be better quality than the Showcase channel - you can barely make out the players faces it's that bad.

suck it up. Scottish teams also had to play second fiddle to English teams on stv due to its deciding to put English teams on terrestrial channel meaning only those with sky sports could watch the Scottish teams.

I wonder if this has anything to do with UEFA admitting the other week that they had a massive mistake issuing the rights of the champions league/Europa league to Bt Sports in the first place as there is not the user base on BT Sports and the viewing figures are massively down this season compared to years gone by, even hinted that BY Soorts will not get the rights in 2 years time when they are next up for renewal!!
trick23 to spaceman051
13 May 162#32
hopefully
bt barely advertise what matches are on showcase so no surprise their viewing figures are so low.
plus itv would always have made sure they put the english clubs on as they got further in the tournament whereas it seems bt actively made sure the english clubs werent on the free station
